    Freelander 2 info & videos

    I've just been having a look at the new Freelander 2 details on the LR Australia site.
    There's quite a few decent videos showing the car in various driving conditions, including a rally test !!

    It looks the goods so lets hope the rest of it is up to scratch.

    I've seen few of them running around near PAG head office (it's on my way to uni) - at first sight I thought "What the heck is that?", then proceeded to find a green oval, and then misread the numberplate as N-FLOP!

    They did a test on it on 5th gear last week, they were impressed, and the latest LROI has one in it also, he was very impressed, especially with off road ability.

    I think they are 10k over priced though, maybe 15k over priced, the base model comes un just under 50k plus on roads, i know its aimed at the X5, the Merc and Volvo AWD but they would sell heaps more if it were aimed at the level below, or fit it with low range, now that would be cool.

    Agreed way over priced.
